The 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT'04) will be
jointly held with the 2004 IEEE/WIC/ACM International
Conference on Web Intelligence (WI'04
http://www.maebashi-it.org/WI04/). The IEEE/WIC/ACM 2004
joint conferences are sponsored and organized by IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Computational
Intelligence (TCCI) (http://www.cs.uvm.edu/~xwu/tcci/index.shtml),
Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC) (http://wi-consortium.org),
and ACM-SIGART (http://www.acm.org/sigart/).
The upcoming meeting in this conference series follows the
great success of IAT-99 held in Hong Kong in 1999, IAT-01
held in Maebashi City, Japan in 2001, IAT-03 held in
Halifax, Canada. |
| |
| IAT 2004 provides a leading international
forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from
diverse fields, such as computer science, information
technology, business, education, human factors, systems
engineering, and robotics, to (1) examine the design
principles and performance characteristics of various
approaches in intelligent agent technology, and (2) increase
the cross-fertilization of ideas on the development of
autonomous agents and multi-agent systems among different
domains. By encouraging idea-sharing and discussions on the
underlying logical, cognitive, physical, and sociological
foundations as well as the enabling technologies of
intelligent agents, IAT 2004 will foster the development of
novel paradigms and advanced solutions in agent-based
computing. |
